Words with 'gh' and 'kn' sounds are known as consonant clusters. The combination of 'gh' produces sounds like /f/ in words like "enough" or /g/ in words like "ghost." The 'kn' cluster typically produces the /n/ sound in words like "knight" or "knit."
The "gh" in "laugh" comes from Middle English influence, where the "gh" was used to represent the "f" sound. Over time, English spelling has evolved to reflect the historical roots of words, even if the pronunciation changes.
